I agree with your point but my comment was was in reply to a string of posts about how much cash AA has left as it spins toward bankruptcy. Just because there's butts in seats, it doesn't necessarily mean AA is making money. I was just spit-balling an example as how pangolin and I could be observing the same thing yet it not being an indication of first class and business class passengers 'returning'. And then RhinoBallAuto rolls in right behind me with a real life scenario that exists that is almost identical to my "spit-ball" scenario.
But yes. Butts in seats is a good thing.
